DVD reviews- Tom and Jerry: No Mice Allowed and The Smurfs: Smurf to the Rescue!

Disclosure: I received these DVDs to review for myself. I was not compensated in any other way and all opinions posted here are mine and mine alone.

It's finally summer here in Seattle. That means long days of playing outside in the sun, going for walks, and generally just enjoying the good weather. It also means that it's not dark until well after 9 PM, so days are LONG and some days the kids and I both need a break and some time to just chill. Fortunately we recently received some new DVDs to enjoy in our downtime- Tom and Jerry: No Mice Allowed and The Smurfs: Smurf to the Rescue!Here's a bit about these DVDs, from some press releases that I received:

enormously brave when someone’s in trouble. Follow Papa, Brainy,
Smurfette, Vanity, Lazy and friends as they escape from being the star
attraction in
Sideshow Smurf, rescue a visitor from outer space in It Came from Outer Smurf, or look out for one another when a volcano threatens the village in
The Sky Is Smurfing! The Sky is Smurfing! It all adds up to an “abso-Smurfy-ly” good time when the Smurfs share one of their most treasured traits – courage!

To say that Ethan loves Tom and Jerry shows is a massive understatement. There is no better way to get him in a good mood and laughing than to press play on a Tom and Jerry show. I love hearing him laugh so hard at these shows- is there a better sound than a kid's laughter? As for the Smurfs- Vivian's been on a Smurfs kick lately, so she was thrilled to have some new episodes to watch. All around fun!
